It Got His Attention

Posted on July 9, 2004 by Michael Froomkin

My brother, the bigtime columnist, sure knows how to write an arresting lede. Witness the start of an e-mail my brother sent to Dave Barry that wound up in Dave Barry's blog:

Hi! You once came to a party of mine and peed in my bushes.

But that's not why I'm writing.

Actually, Dan was promoting this both funny and serious contribution by Gene Weingarten to the Nieman Watchdog blog.

    Posted over at Dave’s blog:

    THIS BLOG DOES NOT RECALL ANY SUCH INCIDENT INVOLVING THIS PERSON’S BUSHES

    Notice that this is not a denial of said incident. And notice that the statement is not Dave’s, but “This blog”, which is irrelevant because blogs can’t pee.

    I’d say the blog issued a nondenial nondenial. 😉
